Chapter 236

Dai Yin: "Even the reincarnator Su Bai felt fear, experiencing for the first time in his life what fear truly is."

Venti: "Fear stems from the pressure one exerts upon oneself. No wonder it's Old Su; he can even play like this?"

Abyssal: "Your Highness, isn't the demonized Su Ye just like our Abyss? When ordinary people obtain Abyss power, their bodies change, and their strength rises accordingly."

Aether: "Theoretically, that's correct, but the power Brother-in-law obtained is definitely not Abyss power."

Rhinedottir: "After all, Su Bai can even cleanse Abyss power. The power capable of demonizing him must not be Abyss power."

Cloud Retainer: "Then it must be the lingering issue from the descent of the Demon Lord of the Former Otherworld six hundred years ago."

Lumine: "Is my Su Ye really this terrifying after being demonized?"

... 0 0

Furina: "Su Bai, do you get demonized now too?"

Su Bai: "It probably doesn't count as demonization. Moreover, it seems the demonized me from my past life had no loss of reason; he could even chat and joke with me there."

Scirius: "So Su Bai understands how terrifying the power of that demonized Su Bai is, right?"

Su Bai: "No, I really don't understand, hahaha..."

Paimon: "Hmph! This guy is teasing us again."

【"Here!"】

【The demonized Su Bai threw a fruit at Su Bai.】

【Su Bai caught it and took a close look.】

【It looked like ordinary fruit with a normal shape, but its color was entirely black, giving an immediate sense of ill omen.】

【"Taste it; the texture is quite good."】

【Su Bai: "....."】

【I suspect you're trying to trick me.】

【But since the other party is so terrifying, there seems no need to resort to such petty tricks.】

【Without a second thought, Su Bai took a bite.】

【Immediately, his eyes lit up: "Hey, don't say it looks ugly, the taste is really good."】

【The demonized Su Bai chuckled and sat down on a stone.】

【"This is the fruit borne by the Sky-Piercing Demon Tree within my body."】

【"This thing seems to have a specific name."】

【"It's called the Fruit of Satan; normally, anyone who swallows it will turn into a demon beast."】

【Su Bai: "???"】

【"Of course, one would also feel powerful energy surging into the body."】

【"But seeing your calm demeanor, it seems you haven't gained any power from it."】

【"Is there a difference?" Su Bai frowned suspiciously.】

【Now he finally understood the reason for his own demonization.】

【It must be related to the Sky-Piercing Demon Tree within his body mentioned by the demonized Su Bai.】

【"Of course there is; it proves your current state is no longer affected by the Fruit of Satan."】

【"The reason is that the seed of the demon tree within your body must have already begun to grow."】

【Su Bai: "???"】

Lumine: "Wait, what is the Fruit of Satan? Why does it feel so familiar?"

Nahida: "Isn't this the golden fruit borne by the great tree at the center of our island? I saw Paimon and the others picking it today."

Nahida: "Ahhh, I've already eaten some. It really feels amazing; powerful energy surged in after eating it. Am I going to turn into a demon beast?"

Paimon: "I ate it too. Oh no, am I going to turn into a demon beast?"

Nilou: "I ate it too."

Furina: "Great, so you all stole and ate it?"

Su Bai: "..."

Su Bai: "Come on, the colors are different, so the effects must be different too."

Venti: "So, Old Su, does your great tree and the so-called Sky-Piercing Tree..."

Zhong Li: "By general reason, it feels like the same tree."

Scirius: "What? So eating that fruit can increase strength?"

Lumine: "Scirius is dumbfounded. I cultivated for ages while you all played foolishly, yet it's not as good as eating fruit."

Furina: "It seems drinking coconut milk also makes power surge into the body."

Scirius: "Why didn't you tell us sooner?"

Furina: "Seeing how hard you worked, we couldn't bear to disturb you."

Dainsleif: "Good lord, you all ganged up to bully my Master, right? (So Hard · Furina)" Da.

Chapter 131: Final Decision, Return to Six Hundred Years Ago

Liyue Harbor, mountain ravine.

Seeing Shenhe stared intently at Su Bai's family of three approaching Zhong Li.

Klee seemed to have developed interest in something else again; Alice suddenly vanished from sight with Klee.

Based on Lumine and the others' descriptions from the livestream earlier, Alice must have taken Klee home.

Truly a lively big family.

Just like the lively Liyue Harbor of the future.

"Hmm, I didn't expect my lovely disciple to have once played the role of world-destroyer."

Seeing Shenhe, the True Lord of Borrowing Clouds and Lending Wind, could not stop offering her commentary.

"Master, isn't it a bit improper for you to so rashly call Su Bai your disciple?"

Seeing Shenhe's cold, beautiful face remained expressionless.

Why wasn't the tsundere True Lord of Borrowing Clouds and Lending Wind being tsundere at this moment? Moreover, she truly did not consider herself an outsider.

With her memories not yet restored, such behavior made her seem rather thick-skinned.

"Ahem, what's wrong? In my past life, I was indeed his Master."

"And the bond between us four master and disciples is no less extraordinary."

"He is my disciple, your senior brother, and Ganyu's junior brother."

Seeing Shenhe: "....."

Seeing Seeing Shenhe speechless, the tsundere True Lord of Borrowing Clouds and Lending Wind snorted proudly: "Hmph..."

"Even if he does not acknowledge the relationship from the previous life."

"In this life, he intends to take away my two disciples."

"Even if I am not his Master, I am at least his half-mother-in-law, right?"

"In short, the relationship is very close; there is no mistake."

"Moreover, given Su Bai's character, it is impossible for him to be irresponsible in matters of emotion."

"Ah?"

Seeing Shenhe, who had previously shown no reaction, suddenly had her beautiful face flush with shame.

She had barely met anyone in this life, yet the True Lord of Borrowing Clouds and Lending Wind's tone was as if she were directly marrying her off.

Seeing Shenhe's mind could not turn for a moment.

How was she supposed to respond to this?

"It's fine; your senior sister is still by your side."

"Wait, your senior sister has lived for over three thousand years. Although she assisted the Liyue Qixing in worldly affairs after entering the world, 'six-zero-six', she is equally a novice when it comes to matters between men and women."

"Hmm..."

The True Lord of Borrowing Clouds and Lending Wind pondered for a moment, and her eyes lit up.

"But it doesn't matter; Lumine is still on the island."

"Your relationship is quite good; I believe she will help you."

The True Lord of Borrowing Clouds and Lending Wind flapped her wings a few times.

The next second, she suddenly transformed into human form.

"Let's go; the Geo Archon has contacted me and asked me to bring you and Ganyu over."
